Christmas Puddings were baked today!! Tomorrow we decorate the tree!! Then more baking, christmas cake etc.. Just love being in the kitchen this time of year with all the lovely aromas of baking!!
Home Baking is the Best!
2 Diaries Sold only the Brown One Left so be quick!!
The 2 smaller diaries have sold and only the brown one is left, so get in early as I wont be painting any more diaries for the New Year!
Check out these new designs!!
Have just listed these three diaries in my ebay store.
I’m so pleased with this boy ted, he has a mischievous look about him and the sweet girl teddy looks good on the black background of the diary.
The third one is a variation on a design painted some time ago, am very pleased with the way she turned out. There will be a pattern for this one soon. Probably after Christmas.
Hope you like them!!
Christmas Teddy Bears Pattern!
Finally our computer is behaving itself and I’ve been able to list the pattern for this beautiful Christmas Teddy Bears box in my ebay store.
There is still enough time to paint it up for Christmas.
Am quite excited as it’s a first of my painting patterns, with hopefully many more to come.
Computers can be soooo frustrating when they’re not doing what they’re supposed to do, not to mention the time spent trying to sort them out.
Computer Drama!
Having major computer problems. May have to send it away for repair. Not happy at all!
Patterns are coming!
Am new to this blogging and often think I haven’t really much of interest to say, but as I haven’t blogged for awhile have been urged by family members to keep on with the blogging.
Had a visitor to stay for the week-end, had a lovely time chatting, eating and shopping, the weather was just beautiful. So any painting had to be put on hold.
Am still working on my up coming designs to be put into patterns. There is quite a lot of work involved as I want to try to make the explanations as clear as possible, so as the patterns can be suitable for painters at most levels.
Shouldn’t be too much longer now and the Teddy Christmas Box design will be available.

Take a look at this cute bear!
My Mum is quite addicted to crocheting these adorable bears and has just completed this charming chap. Wouldn’t he look cute amongst your Christmas display or bear collection?
He is for sale in my ebay store.
Sorry but the white bear in the background is mine, ok, and not for sale.
Christmas Teddy Bear Box
Well, after much fussing and great attention to detail, I’m pleased to let you know I’ve finished the box and it’s available for sale in my ebay store.
Am very happy I added the old Christmas postcards along the bottom of the box as it has really added to the olde worlde charm I wanted to achieve.
A great addition to your Christmas display.
Now I’m working on the pattern, for those of you who might like to paint it. There’s plenty of time to have it done for Christmas! It would be a good lesson on painting bears in their fur. The pattern will be for sale in my ebay store very soon.
Wondering
Have spent the last couple of days wondering what I’m going to put around the bottom of this box. Yesterday I discovered some lovely old Christmas postcards that I’ve had for ages and forgotten about. I got really excited I’d found these treasures and spent all morning scanning them onto the computer (I’m not speedy at all when it comes to anything to do with computers Lol!). But I think they will be just the thing to finish this box off with. Here are a couple of them for you to look at.
It’s cold and rainy here in my part of the world, perfect for being indoors with my painting.
Work in progress!
Christmas Box
I’ve been working on this Christmas box this week. I love they way it’s coming along with the lovely golden colour of the bears on the shabby worn background. Can’t decide whether to keep it for myself or not!! Whatever I decide, one thing I’m going to do is make a pattern of this design for those of you who like to paint. It will soon be in my ebay store. I’ll keep you posted!
Christmas Bears!
I love these bears made by Mum. The big Christmas bear has such a lovely face. He has been made from a re-cycled wool coat as was the tiny ted on his right. The little white one on the left is one of Mum’s thread crochet teddy bears. I thought they’d make a lovely trio painted on another Christmas box!! Christmas isn’t far away you know!!
